Dear Patrons,
Halloween is upon us and that had made me think of what aptly themed artwork to post, as it seem that ALL of my content does fit into the horror-theme of the holiday. In the end, as I think of costumes and masks, it had me revisiting the mysterious "diners" and how I should start consolidating them into recognizable recurring characters instead of drawing a new look for each one to make it a little more consistent. And having went through my past drawings, I must agree that I have a tendency to be a little all over the place when it comes to these characters. I do fall victim of drawing the moment sometimes even though a lot of my scenes and stories take a great deal of planning. Though in my defense, how many times does an individual wear the same clothes? So for the past week, I had begun to mindmap these characters and their place in the larger story so that hopefully in the future, their appearances would become a lot more cohesive.
For this update, one should recognize at least one of the major players, the high religious figurehead of the Sacred Trinity and the leader of the Black Church and the Unholy See. We call him, the ANTIPOPE.
Also, for an added update, I have gone and done something of quite a departure for me which is to delve into a little bit of Pop-Culture fan-service, that is to draw a character inspired by a video game. I dusted this one sketch out which I started quite a while back seeing how I shouldn't pass the occasion of Halloween, horror and dress-up games to miss putting this one up before my regular service ensues.
Lastly, for some housekeeping, to P****** members, a reminder that starting November, instead of being charged on the 1st of the month, billing will now be processed on the day you subscribe.
Now on to the show. Bon appétit!

I. HALF PINAFORE CUT
Image 1 (1 complete colored work for DISCIPLE members or higher): A scene of a masked man. Who could he be in the Pantheon of Forbidden Feast's collection of characters? We may have seen him before in the background of one of the other artworks, so obscure it's very easy to miss. He does seem to enjoy handling the butchered carcass a little too much it seems.
II. THE LADY OF THE CASTLE
Image 2-9 (8 black & white sketches and shaded works in progress of a similar scene for DISCIPLE members or higher): Such a strong, powerful woman, finally conquered. What a prize. Shoes or without shoes? I can't decide so I've inserted both. Not much is known about this character. We know she is a member of the undead, but what happened to her in life? And what made her such a vengeful misanthropist. One could maybe guess what had been done to her to make her be that way.
III. BLESS THIS FLESH THAT WE ARE TO PARTAKE
Image 10-11 (1 inked + 1 full color drawing for DISCIPLE tier & above): I am rather proud of the design of the spit contraption I had conjured up for this piece which is part of the UNHOLY SEE project series. It is both beautiful and also practical. One that would make a perfect museum collector's piece.
IV. HALF TAILLEUR CUT
Image 12 (1 colored artwork for DISCIPLE tier & above): One more cleaning up and final touch up to the drawing I did the previous update #296
V. BONUS SKETCH
Image 13 (1 sketch for DISCIPLE tier & above): An idea of a scene I have. How does one keep secrets of a conspiracy? Through blackmail of course. This one would document one of the most heinous of all circumstances.
